    They say women are too emotional to run the world, yet this motherfucker can’t even run a single company without constant foot stomps.

    Elon Musk the kinda guy to try to sue Santa for not bringing him enough emeralds.

    The new firm he is using is probably yes dummy, give us more money to recoup nothing. Because you don’t think a law firm hired by a big corporation won’t know how to cover themselves legally.

    He is trying to claw back .2% of what he paid for Twitter… Why does he even care? That’s like a normal person trying to claw back 40 bucks on a $20,000 purchase but not really because it’s less than a rounding error compared to his networth

      It has nothing to do with the amount. It’s all about fucking the other guy.

      I’ve done work in homes and overhead clients bragging to other owners about how much they fucked the contractor for. Like, they have conversations about it. And it’ll be a few dozen grand on a multi million dollar home.

      In one development there was a kind of club for these guys. They’d go and get drinks and just boast about who they fucked over and for how much. I know this because one of them was the contractor that got fucked. He was in on it. He actually played the game with them. He never really lost mo ey though. He’d just not pay the subs. It’s OK though, he blew his brains out a few years ago so he doesn’t play anymore.

            True true. My favorite is that we are a trucking company. They genuinely debated dropping some out truck down 5 weight classes to save $700 a year/truck. They could only do that to like 10 trucks and those trucks pretty regularly hit the max legal weight they are currently registered for.

      Because he spent all his liquid cash to buy Twitter and had to take on additional loans.

      If you emptied your bank account for $20,000 and loaned an extra $5,000 to buy a BMW which constantly needs maintenance, an extra $40 might sound pretty good.

      Yes you might have a house worth $500,000 but you would not be happy if you had to sell it or take loans against it.

        Yeah I guess that’s true but maybe he shouldn’t have said he would buy it if he really didn’t want to, ya know, buy it 😂

    Elon Musk’s X Corp. this week sued a law firm that Twitter hired last year after Musk tried to break their $44 billion merger agreement. Musk’s lawsuit in San Francisco County Superior Court alleges that Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz overcharged Twitter when it collected $90 million—including $84.3 million on the same day Musk completed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter.

    He really needs to re-read his buddy, trump’s playbook. Don’t pay them in the first place.

      He didn’t. This was a last minute payout by Twitter prior to the change in ownership. He’s trying to not pay them retroactively.

          It’s like getting a divorce, paying a ton of money in legal fees (as well as your wife paying a bunch), and then getting back together and trying to sue your wife’s lawyers because that money she spent is your joint money again. What a dumbass

    I readily admit that I’m not invested enough to even read the whole story. One company is accusing another company of wrongdoing, blah blah blah. The details don’t matter.

    Musk is an asshole, and it’s funny to me that he’s mad. That’s it.
